The big jobs bluff in Bihar
Hindustan Times Thane
|October 11, 2025

-
Promises during election campaigns ought to be taken with more than a pinch of salt—although they are still important because they give us an idea about the larger worldview of the political parties and politicians making them. It is against this backdrop that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav's promise of giving a government job to a person in every household in Bihar ought to be evaluated. The numbers are beyond ridiculous.
